Chapter 37: Isn't This A Bit Wrong?

"Senior brother, didn't you say... it wouldn't be an ordinary hospital?"

Lu Mingfei stared somewhat blankly at the "First People's Hospital" before him.

"Fine, as the best general hospital in the city, or even the entire province, I admit this hospital naturally cannot be called ordinary. But how does this get linked to a 'professional secret agency'?"

"The school has invested in this hospital and arranged for doctors to be stationed here.

They are responsible for providing physical examinations and treatment for all field operatives in the nearby area, and the entire process is confidential."

Chu Zihang explained.

"This entire hospital is a professional secret agency."

"I can feel the thick, wealthy, and overbearing aura from your description, Senior brother!"

Lu Mingfei's tone was full of respect for money, though that didn't stop him from spouting nonsense.

He had already recovered a bit; although he was basically still unable to move or stand on his own, his ability to spout nonsense had already returned.

"Honestly, on the way here, I thought it would be that kind of secret agent style—entering an abandoned underground parking lot, opening some high-tech secret door, passing iris and fingerprint authentication, and then appearing before me would be an underground hospital with a full set of high-tech equipment!"

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment upon hearing this, "That would be... practicing medicine illegally, right?"

"Seems like it..."

Lu Mingfei looked at the people coming and going; the foot traffic at a top-tier hospital was quite considerable even at night.

"Say, are these people all related to 'special humans'? Is that old grandpa with the crutches one too? Such a strong spirit of dedication!

I think I even saw a seven or eight-year-old kid; this must be one of those legendary child prodigies, having to go out and hack Death Servants at such a young age?

And that middle-aged woman in the wheelchair... they really hide their disguises well!"

"... It's not a disguise, they are just ordinary patients," Chu Zihang said.

"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"This place also receives ordinary patients. The doctors work normal shifts and see patients, which allows it to maintain high-efficiency operations at the lowest cost, and even turn a profit," Chu Zihang explained.

"That sounds like it went from wealthy and overbearing to capitalist exploitation in an instant!" Lu Mingfei immediately looked indignant.

"Cassel College is funded and operated by the School Board. Behind the School Board are seven Hybrid families with long lineages, possessing vast wealth and Authority. They are indeed capitalists, and the most prominent ones at that."

Chu Zihang had already begun to educate Lu Mingfei; coming into contact with Death Servants meant entering this dangerous world, and the more one mastered, the safer one naturally was.

Of course, choosing to have one's memory wiped and exiting completely in ignorance was also an option, but that was clearly not a choice Lu Mingfei would make.

Besides, Lu Mingfei had already successfully undergone Bloodline Awakening, hadn't he? Chu Zihang still remembered the scene of Lu Mingfei charging toward him without hesitation—covering dozens of meters in an instant!

Spirit Speech: Instant? Or Spirit Speech: Time Zero?

Whichever it was, both were extremely powerful Spirit Speeches, but what puzzled Chu Zihang was, could Odin be forced to retreat with just that?

This doubt was only buried deep in his heart and was not asked by Chu Zihang.

Some guesses are better left unverified; secrets are secrets precisely because they have a meaning for existing.

"Right."

Chu Zihang suddenly spoke, "Don't tell anyone about the details of tonight's operation; leave everything to me. I'll tell you the specific reasons later."

"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded.

If Senior brother said so, he must have his reasons! He just needed to listen.

Thus, Chu Zihang carried Lu Mingfei on his back into the hospital.

He had driven his Mercedes all the way here, as that was the fastest way. There were no stretchers in the car, so he had to use this method of transport.

Originally, this wouldn't have been a big deal, but the biggest problem was—this city really seemed a bit too small.

Su Xiaoqiang, with a bright red nose and looking somewhat sickly, was just coming out of the hospital accompanied by her nanny when she looked up and saw this scene—

A soaked Chu Zihang was carrying a soaked Lu Mingfei inside, and Lu Mingfei even had a "clinging" (in reality, muscle weakness) look about him.

She subconsciously hid to the side; her brain, which had been muddled from a cold and fever that hadn't fully healed, was now completely clear.

No, wait a second, what did she just see?

Lu Mingfei probably wasn't the illegitimate son of Senior brother Chu Zihang's father... he couldn't be Senior brother Chu Zihang's illegitimate son, could he!

She stood stunned for a long time, but didn't follow to get to the bottom of it, choosing to go home instead.

Countless questions flashed through her mind—

Why were both of them soaked? They couldn't have been winter swimming in the river while wearing clothes in the middle of winter, right? Besides, the river hadn't even thawed yet! And whether they were actually father and son...

Su Xiaoqiang, who had started having a cold and fever yesterday and had only just barely recovered, took a while to calm down in the car before choosing to pick up her phone, preparing to scroll through the campus forum.

A moment later, when she put her phone down again, her expression was blank.

No, wait a second, what did she see again?

She repeatedly picked up and put down her phone, as if to refresh the content she saw on the screen.

But the text content remained unchanged, and countless other posts from others confirmed this wasn't fake news but a recent hot topic!

"Are they crazy?"

Su Xiaoqiang muttered, touching her forehead, wondering if she had burned her brain to the point of hallucinating.

"Lu Mingfei? Is this for real!"

On the other side.

"Hiss..."

The doctor held a freshly printed stack of complex test reports, brows furrowed, sucking in a cold breath.

"This... isn't quite right, is it?"

A tiny bit short~

I've burned out today! Sleeping! Continuing to wake up early to type tomorrow!
